The British Columbia Pipers Association is a non-profit organization which sanctions all major bagpipe competitions in British Columbia, Washington, and Oregon. It frequently partners with Scottish heritage groups and athletic organizations to organize Highland Games in these three states. Nine of these games, plus the Annual Gathering (an indoor piping and drumming competition with no other events) are sanctioned by the BCPA and produce aggregate points in solo piping and drumming, as well as pipe band competition, for an overall Grand Aggregate prize, announced at the end of each competition season. == History == From the settlement of Vancouver to the association's founding in 1932 there had been a few attempts to establish a piping society, all of which had failed shortly after they were founded. However, there were a handful of pipe bands and annual games were put on by the Vancouver St. Andrews & Caledonian Society. Enthusiasts who felt that a more concrete organization was needed founded the BCPA in July 1932, and the first "Annual Gathering" took place in November of that year. During World War II, several pipers were made unable to play for the duration, but several still improved markedly due to regular tuition by the Canadian and Imperial armies and upon demobilization these pipers made a lasting contribution to piping in British Columbia.
